Dimitri Arvanitis AW17

March 15, 2017

Dimitri Arvanitis is of Greek-German descent and was trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (Class of 2013). The brand started in 2015 as a series of small collections where the designs focus on the visual realization of the final products through creative collaborations (as in this one with Kira and Gary). The menswear collection of 7 looks is the 2nd one by the brand.

The collection is a reflection of growing up in between two cultures and their relation to each other nowadays. What started as a quite naive research that was focussed on fashion and visuals of the early 00s and Berlin being the ultimate place to be, it gained deeper meaning and made much more sense after my residence in Athens, where the financial crisis and the arrival of refugees seem more present than in any other country. I adopted prints and elements (fist and flash, Berlin flag) from a label called Industrie 77. back in its day, which seem to fit present protests around the globe. The embroidered German eagle emblem on the other hand is headless because of the deep V-necks and leaves its political orientation - whether it is looking to the left or right - open.

Alpha Industries: SS26 Onion Quilting Collection

February 04, 2026

Alpha Industries introduces the Onion Quilting Collection. Originally designed as part of the U.S. Army’s cold-weather layering system to deliver lightweight insulation without restricting movement, onion quilting traces back to the quilted liner of the M-65 Field Jacket. For Spring/Summer 2026, Alpha reinterprets this heritage through the ALS-92 liner, a contemporary evolution developed for civilian wear.

Inspired by ALS-92, the Onion Quilting Collection translates the intent of the original system into a modern context, maintaining a focus on mobility and versatility. Each piece reflects Alpha’s consistent approach to utility-driven design, strengthening the brand’s commitment to authentic heritage through modern construction and restraint.
